MC Trachiotomy--Robot Alien or Ghost
Rhinestone Records/Anal Log 1999
Some music is so original, creative, and brilliant, you can't believe it's of this Earth. Surely, the beings who created this music are of a more advanced form of intelligence. That definitely seems to be the case with MC Trachiotomy, making the title of his album, "Robot Alien or Ghost," all the more fitting.
MC Trachiotomy's music might be best described as Trout Mask Replica to a danceable beat--yes, it really is amazing enought to warrant this comparison. Beyond the fact that Robot Alien or Ghost is brilliant and far-out, MC Trachiotomy's voice does have that Beefheart soul and grit to it. This lends an amazing effect to the proceedings--adding more soul to the soulful sections and somehow making the humorous moments even funnier.
The tracks and beats which MC Trachiotomy lays his rhymes over are equally as amazing. These backing tracks are wonderfully warped collages of sound. It leaves the guys who put those tracks together coming off as some great no wave version of Public Enemy's famed Bomb Squad crew--another lofty comparison that is, indeed, well deserved.
Trying to pinpoint standout songs would be futile--all of these songs are amazing. Robot Alien or Ghost deserves to be appreciated in its entirety, anyway. It truly is one of the most special albums you're likely to ever hear--from this galaxy or beyond.
